IJN Specification 10-Shi (E10, Night Reconnaissance Seaplane, 1934)

Thanks I correct.
I think that type 96(or type 97) transport was a amphibian. If so, landing gear was too small and gear span was too narrow?
Hmmm.....It's not a amphibian. Perhaps gear was for land transportation.

Hi Kawanishi E10K, 9-shi night reconnaissance sea plane. Competitor of the Aichi E10A and the winner was the Aichi E10A.
Later this aircfaft was used as the type 94 transport.
Vertical tail stabilizer shape of 3 side view drawing is little different from pictures.

E10K had a tractor type air cooling radial engine and E10A had a pusher type liquid cooling engine.

Hi! E10K.

What is this on the fuselage? Is that how you enter the passenger space?


I wonder what unit(s) the Type 96s belong to, I see ??-1 on both of them, so maybe it is the same aircraft?

Hi! It's the radiator for liquid cooling engine. Very unusual design.
Kwanishi's designer liked to install all of the equipments at the top of the tower. ;D

Here's a color profile for the Aichi E10A "Hank", and also a three-view arrangement for a version designated AB-12G, probably unbuilt. Do you have any more details about this one? I don't speak Polish I'm afraid...

Here is more on the Kawanishi E10K, including two three-view arrangements showing the modification as a transport.

Hi Sky! Vertical tail stabilizer shape of your post is different from this picture. Don't you think so?
